No, but you need it to show it to him on the way out.

But they haven’t so far, and the question was why it’s popular at this moment.

Possible future enshittification disqualifies all software, unless you prevent it from going online - which you can also do with Unraid.

I genuinely thought it’s not limited, but yes, the trial.

Decent UI. Affordable lifetime pricing. Actually just-works. No retrospective enshittification. Free trial is actually free, not ad supported.

You get what you pay for, and you’re not the product.

There’s ample of evidence that a couple of decades to reeducate their children and grandchildren simply isn’t enough or doesn’t work.

We had a couple of decades to educate everyone about fascism,… and yet we’re here.

That’s actually quite easy to explain. Reddits entire monetary value (or at least a very large portion) depends on how relevant it is as platform to mine user interactions - to use as training material for AI.

Reddit getting references less is a sign that the models, or the owning companies, value reddit data less compared to before.

What about Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, even 4chan?

You know why. Because the CEOs of the first three bent the knee to the facists already, and the last one is a breeding ground for MAGA.

This is just the next round of CEOs to be intimidated into submission. Some of them won’t need intimidation of course, spez will be happy.

Do we work for the same company? Exactly same story here. Also just botched the Oracle to Aurora migration.

I don’t know, so I can only guess.

The desalination plant could have been there already, because for whatever reason it was more practical (or even required) than taking the water from the river.

Or maybe the desalination plant requires very little power, maybe less than what the osmotic plant produces.

Or the whole thing is indeed energy negative, but not as energy negative as having just the desalination plant. So at least they get to use the brine from the desalination to recoup some of the energy. Because the osmotic plant is power positive.

It’s easier to understand with a picture of the process:

It’s not energy negative. Osmosis doesn’t require any energy input. You only need to pump water to the plant,but the harvested power from the pressurized water exceeds the required pumping power. Freshwater and saltwater are freely available. Using the concentrated brine from a desalination plant only increases the efficiency.

What happened? I also worked with the JIRA API (on-prem tho), and didn’t run into bigger troubles.

The only thing I really dislike is the “discovery” process. I don’t have much to compare it to, but going through /createmeta/ and what keys are allowed/work or not and how to get to the correct service, and what data is shown or not. Maybe I did it wrong.

I like to imagine that anyone who works at the FBI, and has the opportunity, would try lying at the polygraph for fun.

No. It’s complicated. There are new scanners, which are supposed to detect and identify fluids, and we’re supposed to lead to a removal of the fluid restrictions. But now there’s claims they are not good as expected.

So yeah, new scanners, but sometimes with restrictions in place and sometimes not. And if the whole airport (or just the security check point you end up at) doesn’t have the new scanner… then of course the restriction is definitely in place.

Source: airport nearby has a mix of old and new scanners.

There is a science or food YouTuber out there who’d be really excited to try this, if only they read your idea.

People who know programming already, yes. People who are getting into it / want to get into it, see it as an amazing shortcut.

I had two working students already, who thought and communicated that they don’t really need to learn programming, because they can do it with ChatGPT / Q. It was quite infuriating.

I was so hyped when I saw the trailers, because the visuals and ideas of the story they showcased were exactly my jam. But oh boy, what a dumpster fire the whole movie turned out to be.

Edit: yep, still goosebumps watching the trailer

You are indeed correct. A higher card “sticht” (=beats) a lower cards.

Of course those people existed before, and were just as evil as they are now. But before Trump they didn’t get to act on their evil traits. With him on top, and more and more like minded in top positions, they can finally act with impunity. They don’t need to fear consequences anymore. And that is absolutely related to Trump. So fuck Trump.

Someone moving out of the way still doesn’t equal everyone moving out of the way. He’s way ahead of them at the end of the video. The point still stands.

Really. Japanese society has a lot of issues on its own, but there’s also a lot to learn from them.
